Fighting February; Noon Flood update at Wraysbury, 10/2/14.

The trains have been cancelled from Windsor and traffic is
pretty chaotic all around the area. Near the river at Datchet the water is
chest high while the Chemist on the green is having to use a side door to hand out the
prescriptions.

The Egham to Old Windsor road is cut as is Pococks lane in Eton
and Welley road in Wraysbury.

In Wraysbury, the houses by the river are flooded and the
water is very close to us now. This is Oast House Close, you can see the waters
have moved around the houses from the back gardens – but they are still holding
out!

Rescue is at hand for people in the Meadows behind The Grange;

The Fish and Chip shop isn’t going to be frying tonight but
you can still get your car serviced;

Or perhaps that old outboard needs a tune up?

I’m going to be missing my Jazz tonight, I think. It’s a
shame – a tribute to Lionel Hampton.

Meanwhile I’ve marked the water level opposite with an old
can of Red Bull and we’ll see how it goes tonight.......
